Mind the Product

Kimolian Academy was thrilled to attend the mtpcon at Barbican to promote our mission of empowering women in Product Management! The event was filled with inspiring speakers and valuable insights that we can’t wait to share with you.

First up on the main stage was Ebi Atawodi, YouTube‘s Director of Product. She took us on a journey through the process of crafting a compelling product vision. It was a reminder of the importance of having a clear vision for success!

Next, Jose Quesada, VP Product, Mobile and Web, shared the recent redesign of the Amex app and strategies for enhancing user engagement, satisfaction, and revenue. It was eye-opening to see the impact of a well-thought-out product strategy.

Throughout the day, we engaged in various activities and Q&A sessions, including insightful talks by Leah Tharin, a Product-led Growth Advisor, and Aman Khan, Director of Product at Arize AI. We learned about the essential skills needed to succeed in the ever-evolving world of product management.

In the afternoon, Harry Stebbings, Founder and Podcast host of 20VC, and Luke Harries from ElevenLabs discussed the Founder Led Product Engineer model and shared secrets to startup success. It was inspiring to hear their stories.
